ATSyntEdit dependency fail on package install

[RedOctober]

(Removed from the 4.4 release announcement page, and posted here, as advised by AlexTP)

I just installed this on Windows Server 2016 (my dev machine).  I selected a bunch of my needed components for my apps from the On line Package manager.  Everything installed except for ATSynEdit.  Got the error message that there was a missing dependency.

How can I fix this and get ATSynEdit installed in 4.4 ?


Thanks in advance.

Maybe OnlinePkgMan has the outdated ATSynEdit?
Try to get last GitHub version instead:

https://github.com/Alexey-T/atsynedit/

As we can see in the file atsynedit/atsynedit_package.lpk:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     <RequiredPkgs Count="5">
2.       <Item1>
3.         <PackageName Value="BGRABitmapPack"/>
4.       </Item1>
5.       <Item2>
6.         <PackageName Value="encconv_package"/>
7.       </Item2>
8.       <Item3>
9.         <PackageName Value="atflatcontrols_package"/>
10.       </Item3>
11.       <Item4>
12.         <PackageName Value="LCL"/>

ATSynEdit has dep's:
- BGRABitmap, https://github.com/bgrabitmap/bgrabitmap
- EncConv, https://github.com/Alexey-T/encconv
- ATFlatControls, https://github.com/Alexey-T/atflatcontrols/

So install these 3 packages from Github first.

Progress Report:

- Downloaded the .zip files for

    - BGRABitmap, https://github.com/bgrabitmap/bgrabitmap
    - EncConv, https://github.com/Alexey-T/encconv
    - ATFlatControls, https://github.com/Alexey-T/atflatcontrols/

In Lazarus 4.4 IDE:

- Package, Open Package File (lpk), Compile  (All 3)
- All compiled

Back to Package, Open Package File

C:\Installs\Lazarus_4_4\ATSynEdit_Patch\ATFlatControls-master\atflatcontrols\atflatcontrols_package.lpk

(This is the only one with a "Use" menu option, instead of a Use/Install option, instead of just a "Add to Project" option).

- Clicked "Use", "Do you want to rebuild the IDE?", yes,
(Note:  I did not remove the existing packages from my IDE, I just did a "Use")

Result:  IDE rebuilt and comes back.

Next:   Downloaded https://github.com/Alexey-T/atsynedit/

to

C:\Installs\Lazarus_4_4\ATSynEdit_Patch\ATSynEdit-master\atsynedit

Compiles ok.  Clicked "Use":

- Warning is displayed: 


Automatically installed packages


Installing the package atsynedit_package 2.23 will automatically install the packages:
BGRABitmapPack 11.6.6
encconv_package 1.1

I click "OK":  IDE will rebuild warning.  I click "Yes":

IDE Rebuilds and restarts OK.

TATSynEdit control and SynEdit Highlighters appear on my component pallette.

I think we can mark this ticket as "solved".  Thank you for the help AlexTP.

Except for the part where AlexTP should update OPM with the recent versions of his packages...

[AlexTP]

yes, I will do it. currently I am fixing minor issues in the hard part: undo/redo system.
